Opportunity Purpose
Dr. Albert of the University of Victoria, Sociology, is looking for members of the public to join in discussion sessions to i) review key research findings on public perceptions of COVID-19 information and vaccinations, and ii) brainstorm public communication strategies as well as key areas for future research. Help us identify ways to ensure these findings are accessible and to identify areas for future research that matter most to the public.

Details
In small groups of 3 to 5 people, partners will review and discuss Dr. Albert’s preliminary research findings on public opinions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccines. They will give input on clarity, ongoing relevance, and depth of the findings. They will also brainstorm with researchers on how best to communicate these findings to the public and to decide what future areas of COVID-19 research should be prioritized.

Eligibility
Age: 19 Years – 70 Years Old

The question I like to ask health care employees is ‘Who is this for?’ and ‘Do we have the right people at the table?’ As a health care employee, I see how easy it is to fall into doing for, rather than doing with patients. The voices of the patient, family and caregiver are essential to ensure the patient is central to the direction and focus of the work being done.
